Long Haul route

[Rajah 4]

Hello!

PFPX does not generate a route for LFMT-TFFR
for 737NGX with ETOPS.

It gives the message "Route contains ETOPS segment outside covered area.
That's correct, but how can I build a route with the 180 minutes coverage circels?

You should be able to use LPLA and TXKF as your alternates on that route. That gives you an overlapping circle with ETOPS 180

Thanks Farlis!

At the Alternates I gave in:

LPLA

TXKF

TDPD

but get the same message.

Frans,

You must have a super-737! I could barely get there with a B757 using redispatch!

I let PFPX build a random route for me and this is what it came up with:

BRUS6S.BRUSC.G39.AFRIC.G393.TOU.ITI23.TBO.UN995.PPN.UP152.PODUX.UT430.MIRPO.UN976.ZMR.UL155.ADORO..ERPES..

39N020W.36N030W.31N040W.27N047W.25N050W.18N060W..BOSET.BOSE5P

As you can see from the graphic the 180 minute ETOPS arcs using only two enroute alternates of LPLA and TXKF provide coverage for the route.

1. Is your aircraft profile set up for ETOPS?
2. What is your fuel capacity for your aircraft?

Hi,

B738NGX is ETOPS180 certified.

Cheers

_{Indeed CactusD,}

_{the 738 has a max range of 3115 nm and this trip is 3720 :-(}

_{Nevertheless, thanks!}

You're right Rajah, sorry.
